****'s sake. Couldn't wait another few days, could they?
Doesn't reflect very well on Mourinho's club though, does it? "Draw against Utd? You're fired!"
Not sure playing them with the U12s boss in temporary charge and waiting for the sack when the new guy signs up is a fearsome proposition

If I were a reporter, I'd certainly be intimidated by the possibility of having to pronounce Ralph Hasenhuttl's name correctly. It's far too easy for the brain to veer off in all manner of directions, from hazelnut to Hasselhoff
 
Six months into a three-year contract too

...which begs the question why anyone would offer him a three-year contract, given his record of taking over teams with a reputation for being hard to beat and trying to make them play attractive football, but as he tries that with the players he inherited he usually makes them bloody easy to beat - which is problematic for Southampton as they didn't have a Pulis-type in charge making them hard to beat in the first place

Also, if this is true, **** him

Commentator (laughing): "It just goes to show what an embarrassment of riches Manchester City have when they can change every player in their defence..."

It also suggests that cheating the FFP rules and threatening UEFA can be very effective, if you're rich enough to pay off enough people so that nobody notices it, particularly when you're not even bothering to hide it very well, because you're so used to getting your own way, unhindered.

Trippier/Aurier Alderweireld/Sanchez Vertonghen/Foyth Davies/Rose

Yeah, I can't see what the commentator's point is there
